Installing the SDX Software with Installation Program in Graphical Mode

You can install the SDX software by installation set. In general, an installation set corresponds to a group of software components that provide specific functionality. For example, if you want a particular host to act as an SAE and as a directory server, you could install the SAE and Directory Server installation set on that host.

Table 12 lists the components and feature sets that are included by default for each installation set.

 NOTE: For a specified installation set, you can select additional components or deselect components. Be careful if you do this; deselecting required components can have undesired results.

To Install the SDX software from the installation program in graphical mode:

1. On the UNIX host where you will install the SDX software, log in as root.
2. Ensure that the display variable is set.

echo $DISPLAY

3. (Optional) Create nonroot users and groups using the UNIX admintool utility to enable nonroot users and groups to administer the SDX software. See Logging the Installation Session.
4. Load SDX software disk 1, and start the SDX installation program.

/cdrom/cdrom0/UMCsdx.bin

5. Follow the instructions in the various windows.

1. In the Choose Software Distribution Folder window, specify the location of the software to be installed. You can accept the default location, or specify a different location.
2. In the Choose SDX Install Folder window, specify the directory into which the software will be installed. The program displays the default installation directory, /opt/UMC. Although you can specify a different installation directory, you cannot change the location where SDX components are installed within that directory.
   

   NOTE: All examples in this book presume that you have accepted the default directory.

   
   

 NOTE: The SDX software does not support the use of spaces in filenames or directories. If you create files or directories inside the installation directory structure, you must do the following:

  
 Ensure that the names do not include spaces.
  
 Manage the files and directories outside the context of SDX software.

 If a filename or directory name includes a space, the removal of various SDX packages will fail.



 

3. In the License Agreement window, read then accept the software license for the SDX software. You must accept the license agreement to proceed with the installation.
4. In the Get Admin Option window, select the admin file from which the SDX installation program obtains installation parameters. An admin file assigns values to various installation parameters to define default installation actions. See the UNIX man page for admin(4). You can select one of the following:

• SDX Admin file—Uses SDX installation parameters.
• Solaris Admin file—Uses Solaris default installation parameters from the Solaris default admin file. This file is located in /var/sadm/install/admin/default.

The selected admin option is used to install all the packages. You cannot change admin options for an individual package. The admin selection affects only the current SDX GUI installation instance; if you start the installation program again, the program does have access to any value previously set for the admin option and therefore does not use any previous settings.

1. In the Choose Product Features window, select sets of SDX components to install. You select an installation set that includes one or more feature sets, in part or whole. A feature set includes one or more components. Figure 20 shows how installation sets, feature sets, and components appear in the Choose Product Features window.

Figure 20: Choose Product Features Window

For each installation set, various recommended or required components are selected by default for installation. Click on a package or component to display a brief description.

NOTE: If you install SDX software over an existing installation, the installation program displays a message stating that the existing software will be overwritten.

Table 10 lists components for each available feature set, their Solaris package names, and the directories in which each component is installed.

1. In the Get User Input window, you can specify nonroot users or groups. The users or groups must already exist (created with the UNIX admintool), or the installation program returns an error.
   

   NOTE: Some SDX processes, such as the SAE and the LDAP directory server, use many open files and sockets. You may need to customize the hard and soft limits for the system resources that are used by such SDX processes. Examine your system configuration information and UNIX account holder configuration that runs the SDX processes. See your Solaris system administration documentation for more information about determining the limits of your system configuration and UNIX account holder configuration. The UNIX man pages for the limit(1) command and the sysdef(1M) command also provide useful information. For example, if you are installing the SDX software in a nonroot environment in a typical Solaris 9 or Solaris 10 installation, the maximum number of file descriptors is too low for nonroot users. The hard limit is 1024, and the soft limit for nonroot users is 256. You can use the UNIX ulimit command to increase the number.

   
   
2. In the Preinstallation Summary window, review the feature sets, the components in the feature sets to be installed, and the folder into which the components will be installed. If the list is correct, click Install. The installation program installs the components listed.

The Installing SDX window shows the progress of the installation for the components selected. The installation program opens a UNIX window as it uses the pkgadd command to install each component. Messages in the UNIX window request confirmation or other input for installation of a package.

After the installation program finishes installing SDX software components, the Install Complete window displays a message that indicates whether the installation was completed successfully.

6. In the Install Complete window, click Done when the installation program indicates that the installation is complete.
